Essex lighting the way to innovation through the green door

Research and innovation for business

Whether you're seeking solutions to specific challenges, looking to enhance efficiency, or exploring new avenues for growth, we can help. At Essex we have the expertise and track record to support the early stages of innovation in SMEs, through to the design and development of bespoke technology for global firms.

We’re business-led and hands on. From scoping through to funding wins, and recruitment of high-quality talent through to project completion, we support our business collaborations every step of the way.
